HH Bows W/O woodies

[dad]

I know that their are Hill shooters that use alternate arrow material. Would you like to share what you are using?

[QUINT]

I use 1816 xx75's, cut 27", with either 3 or 4  fletch LW 4" parabolic helical. Bow is a 60" Tembo T/D, 49#@27".(My draw legnth is really about 26 1/2".)
Couldn't ask for better arrow flight. I also shoot cedars and sitka spruce but honestly prefer the aluminum.

[Mike Lee]

Three Hill bows 69" 45#, 50# 55# all will shoot 2016 aluminum. I also shoot wood but mostly aluminum.

Had some #7 Micro-flite fiberglass shafts and some other no-name fiberglass shafts of about the same spine lying around so tried them out of my 50# Hill.  Fly like darts.  I shoot mostly wood though.

On my Hills I uued 7/16 diameter maple tapered 11/32 and barrelled to 3/8. Also used 2440 alluminum arrows. Marlon

I was thinking of getting a HH in 45# range. I use 1916 with 145gr fp and 4 fletch 4" and I get excellant arrow flight right now with my Bob Lee Stick that is 45@ 28" and 62" lenght. I already know that with the straight or dished grip my D/L in decrease 1." I was just wondering if I might have to go to a 2016 Mike Lee was doing. I know with wood I would defantly go heaver. I wasnt sure with Alum.

My Big Five (Just passable) is 68" and 49# @ 29" and I use 2016 legacys cut to 29" w/125 up front.

[QUINT]

Try your 1916's with a lighter point(125 gr) on the hill's at around 45#. If your arrows are cut 28 or 29", that should work just fine.

[QUINT]

Orion,
I also have #6 and #7 micro-flite's. I wasn't really happy with the arrow flite of either with 125gr up front. Shafts are cut 28 1/4". What legnth were yours?

[Missouri Bowman]

I shoot wood, but in the back yard I will shoot some carbons that do fly like darts.  I haven't found any material that doesn't fly good from my Hills.

[Orion]

Quint:  I draw 28 inches and the shafts are cut to 29 inches behind the point.  I am shooting 125 grain glue on points.  Glue in adaptors I think are about 38 grains.

[Wannabe1]

I have 3 Hill bows, one 50#, one 46# and one 45#. I shoot the same AD Tradlites in all of them. They fly perfect.

[The Baron]

62" HH Badger 55#@28".  Shooting Gold Tip 5575's cut to 29.5" with 200gr. broadheads/field ponts.

[Tajue17]

Howard Hill Big 5 60@27-- 29" heritage 150's with 100gr brass insert, 130gr zwickey delta or 130 gr STOS Broadhead with a 100grain steel point insert, 3 X 5.5 EV howler fletch.  arrow weighs 710grains total and hits like a battering ram.

woods it would be 28" 55-57's w/ 125grain point.

[longbowray]

60@27 the bow is 62 in long shoot 2020 28.8 bop w/ 190 point i draw 27.5 shoot like a dart 650gr going about 165 or 170

[GingivitisKahn]

I"m shooting aluminums out of mine at the moment but have been flirting w/ the notion of buying some Griz Sticks for it.

[Dick in Seattle]

I shoot light Hills, 35#@25"....   Use 1616 Eastons, 50 grain nibs, plus a 10 gr. add in.  27".   This set up actually seems to work well in a variety of bows that are plus or minus 3# from 35.   I do have a 38# flatbow I just finished that has no shelf or cut out that they just proved to not work in.  Just today i tried the same arrow, but switched from a 5" helical to a 4" straight fletch, which improved the flight in that bow tremendously.   I think the arrow was being over stabilized a bit.  Something to thik about if you go to light poundage and light arrows.

[toddster]

I have a HH Redman and Sirocco, they are 50# at 27", 62" long.  I have shot alot of cedar out of them they favor a little heavier wood spine.  I went to X7 2014's just to eliminate any errors I might make from making my woodeis, they fly great.  Thinking of trying some 150 carbon express will let you know how they are?

[John McCreary]

Prefer wood, but 2018's perform very well with 150 grains up front off my Wesley and my Ted Kramer built Big Five. 54 and 52 lbs my @30" draw respectively.
